The tut was made to prepare for the post ESD era. As it looks now the ESD to ISO method will not be available in the future, I do not believe that MS allows us to disable new UUP upgrade with registry hacks for infinite future. Sooner or later the UUP will become the only upgrade method, leaving Fast Ring Insiders without a valid method to create install media. That's where this method comes to rescue.

In addition, you can use the methods described to create highly personalised and customised ISO images with any Windows version and edition (7, 8, 8.1, 10) even if you do not need the latest Fast Ring build ISO.

I can only say this: making this tutorial took so long because I checked every detail, every step several times before posting it. I did all three ISO methods before posting, reading the instructions as if I had no idea about what I was doing. All three ISO images I made were then tested on BIOS / MBR system as well as UEFI / GPT system. All booted without issues.

Do you get any error messages when booting? What kind of system you are trying to boot, a physical PC, virtual machine?

I'm not saying your Tutorial is wrong rather that I made a mistake. Can't remember the error message.

Are you doing Part One, Two or Three? Do you mean the installation you use to make new install.wim has relocated Users folder?

I plan on doing the make .ISO from existing installation including user accounts and programs. The existing installation is the one I just did after something hosed, so it is pretty clean. Complete format of system and users drive, am remotely installing applications, then a few settings changes, driver updates, and I will be ready to capture.

Not at my computer ATM, responding via cellphone using TapaTalk. But I believe that is method 2.

Yes I didn't mean anything else than that the steps involved in all three ISO alternatives have been tested.

Which ISO you were trying to make (Part One, Two or Three), which build and edition you used to create install.wim, which build and edition you used to copy the rest of the setup files?

Usually you relocate the Users folder with component Shell-Setup > FolderLocations in answer file. I have to admit I've never done new install.wim from a system with already relocated Users folder. My way to it is a clean install keeping C:\Users where it is, then sysprep with answer file relocating Users to another drive.

If you are in no hurry, let me test this scenario first, I'll do it within next few hours and post back.
